DETACHABLE STOCK FOR REvoLvERs.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 20, 1906.

Application filed October 2, 1905. Serial No. 280,960.

T0 on whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL B. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gettysburg, in the county of Darke and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Detachable Stock for Revolvers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to detachable stocks for revolvers, and has for its object to simplify and improve the construction and increase the efficiency of devices of this character.

With these and other objects in view, which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which corresponding parts are denoted by like designating characters, is illustrated the preferred form of the embodiment of the invention capable of carrying the same into practical operation, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportions, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention within the scope of the appended claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved device applied. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the improved device attached. Fig. 3 is a plan view, enlarged, of the coupling portion of the device.

The improved device comprises a band 10 of metal, for encircling the handle or grip portion 11 of a revolver and formed large enough to receive the hand-grip portion of the largest sizes of revolvers manufactured. Attached to the interior of the band 10 at one side is a concaved plate 12 for bearing against the inner face of the hand-grip, the plate being suitably padded with leather or like material, as at 13, to prevent abrasion of the highly -finished surfaces with which it comes in contact. A set-screw 14 operates through the opposite side of the band 10 and has a concaved plate 15 swiveled thereon, as at 16, the set-screw providing means whereby the plate 15 may be adjusted to and compressed against the outer or rear face of the grip 11, and thus not only adapt the device to different sizes of grips, but also tov firmly clamp the band to the same. will be suitably padded, as at 17, to prevent abrasion of the parts.

The plate 15 Depending from the band 11, preferably beneath the set-screw 14, is a standard 18, from which diverging'rods 19 20 extend and are connected at their terminals by a substantially vertical bar 21, the bars 19, 20, and 21, the standard 18, and the band 10 being integral and preferably for ed from steel or equally strong metal and as ight as possible consistent with the strains to which it will be subjected. The bars 19, 20, and 21 resemble the outlines of the butt-end of an ordinary gun, and the upper bar 19 is depressed, as at 22, to form a hollow in the stock adjacent to the standard 18.

By this arrangement it will be obvious that all the parts of the stock come below the grip portion 11 of the revolver, leaving the latter free to be grasped by the hand of the operator in the ordinary manner and without interference from the presence of the stock attachment, the latter enabling the operator to hold the revolver with greater steadiness, but

at the same time employing one hand only in the ordinary manner.

The device can be readily attached to and detached from the hand-grip portion of the revolver and adjusted to any and all sizes and forms without structural change of any kind in the weapon.

The device is light and convenient to use, can be quickly attached and detached, and readily adapted to all sizes and forms of revolvers, as before stated.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is- An attachment for revolvers consisting of a band having a standard depending therefrom and with diverging rods extending from the lower end of the standard and connected DANIEL, B. MARTIN.
